have you ever seen any H2's running around with the dubs plus?

-yes- well there is your answer. There's lots of rims to choose from google is your friend.

They do exist. Its hard to find a set though that will stay tucked in the fender well. Most will stick WAY out and look horrible unless you have a sizeable lift.

You will also run into the issue of your speedometer being way off and not to mention like DSTRBD said, you will have to lift the truck to get them to fit... ummm Good luck

jeeper....googled "dubs plus" and found a lot of accolades, but no real good sites that had a selection to choose from. Might you know of a good http where a large selection exists? Hopefully at a good price? Thanks for the info....

GMC, so you think 20" are about as large as you can go with a 2500HD without lifting? I've got an '02-2500 Yukon XL 4wd 8.1L now with 20" Weld Evo's (8 lug enclosed), but the 20's look a little small without any lift. Wanted to see if there were any other good alternatives to Weld's (need a change). These 20's do clear, but barely in the front. I was hoping the '06 2500HD would have better front clearance, but I guess not?

As to the speedo being off, can't that be corrected by a PowerProgrammer or some similar unit? Thanks....

I have always had the same stand.. Why do that to a good 4WD truck or burb?? I guess to each his own.. You can reprogram the speedo but not sure about that particular size of rim and whatever small tire you run.. Good luck

My speedo is about 5 MPH off no biggy I'm going about 5mph faster than the speedo. Very minor in comparison to having nice looking wheels. The wheels and tires can bring the truck to a whole nother level.IMO

Rim size doesn't make a difference in the speedo, it's the tire diameter. If you run 20's or 22's and keep a low profile tire, you can keep the speedo pretty close if not right on.

Tbyrne has 22s on his truck....

Nitto makes the terra and mud gapplers both for 22s

Some guy (C2C5 IIRC) on wide awake racing runs 22 inch alba grips with terras and no lift...

Get some 19.5's and tell all your friends your riding on dubs minus a 1/2. Those are rims ment for a 2500HD

305/45/22 or 305/40/22 will fit without lift but trimming is needed. Of course only street oriented tires are available in that size and those cannot carry a lot of weight.

To carry a real weight you would need 35s and a lift kit - or stay with 20s...

Go for 325/50/22 Nittos and a CST 6" lift - looks cool...
